Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup

Posted by michael on from the slobber-slobber-drool-drool dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MacRumors.com posted a massive rumor roundup of all the major rumors surrounding Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference which starts next week. There's been talk of 970 PowerMacs, PowerBooks and Panther... seems like the biggest uncertainty is whether or not 970 PowerMacs will ship or not."

  1. WWDC? by Azghoul · · Score: 5, Funny

    Man, tough morning, first I'm thinking something about WMDs, then I'm thinking some kind of zany religious shit (What Would... DC? Huh?).

    Then I realize it's Mac-related, and so it is kind of zany religious shit (as if us linux-ites are drinking any less kool-aid).

  2. 970 PowerMacs? by jagilbertvt · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'd think that'd be a rather low estimate on the number of PowerMacs they'll be able to ship.

    Jobs will do his imitation of Ballmer's monkeyboy dance.

    Apple will close down its operations before June 23rd of this month. This is not a rumor. WWDC is going to be a huge going away party, where Steve Jobs will reveal to everyone that he is the Architect.

    Now, you might be asking yourself where I got this information from? Simple. Oracle told me. Larry Ellison led me to her, and we had a conversation on a park bench. She said I must spread the truth.

    Cupertino _IS_ the Zion and Microsoft centinels are moving closer to destroying it. We must fight their evil forces with devices powered by embedded linux kernels.

    I certainly hope that Apple comes up with a better name for "Piles"!

    Has your OS got piles?

    Steve Balmers hot dance video Everytime I see that I think "wow that guy is a real psycho"

    GIVE IT UP FOR MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! I Love This Compayeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

    When he prances (ok maybe that's too delicate a word) across the stage he looks like a (really fat) upset beaver...and who chose the music.

    At least if Jobs does it he'll have some better music (and won't make himslf look like a fat upset beaver).
